Gorilla playing football

Genetic engineers at Johns hopkins University announce that they have developed a so-called "super gorilla." though the animal cannot speak, it has a sign language lexicon of over twelve thousand words, an I.Q. of almost 85, and - most notably- a vague sense of self-awareness. Oddly, the creature (who weighs seven hundred pounds) becomes fascinated by football. The gorilla apres to play the game at its highest level and quickly develops the rudimentary skills of a defensive end. ESPN analyst Tom Jackson speculates that this gorilla would be "borederline unblockable" and would likely average six sacks a game (although jackson concedes the beast might be susceptible to counters and misdirections plays). Meanwhile, the gorilla has made it clear he would never intentionally injure any opponent.
